Gu Tingye was muttering in his heart, lamenting that this guy really didn't understand the way of being an official after all, and he was too aggressive in doing things.
I don’t know who sent this guy here. Isn’t he looking for trouble for himself?
Of course, even though this guy took the lives of himself and his family, people like him still have to appreciate it.
After all, he solved a big problem for everyone, so Gu Tingye said in his heart that after this guy is buried, he must have someone make good arrangements for his funeral.
But before that, Gu Tingye planned to deal with the hidden dangers and not let anyone involve him in the death of Queen Cao.
It's just that it's not the right time to do this now. It doesn't matter if Li Hao knows about it, but if Zhao Zonghan notices something, it will be a disaster.
So Gu Tingye said to Li Hao: "Now that the matter has come to this, let's calm down the palace as soon as possible.
In addition, the queen's phoenix body cannot be placed here, it still needs to be restrained.
The little prince also needs to have the imperial doctor come and take a look to avoid leaving the root cause of the disease. "
After saying that, he also looked at Li Hao.
When Li Hao saw this, he knew that Gu Tingye had something to talk to him privately, so he asked someone to carry Zhao Zonghan to the city wall to rest first, and asked someone to start cleaning up the situation, and then asked the British public to help take care of the place.
After everything was arranged, Li Hao and Gu Tingye walked away. But before Li Hao and Gu Tingye could go far, they heard another sound of approaching soldiers and horses coming from the side.
This time there was much more movement than when Gu Tingye came, so Li Hao and Gu Tingye stopped and returned to the British Duke, putting their troops on alert.
Finally, they found out that it was Su Xian and the others who came over, and everyone relaxed.
Su Xian did not bring anyone here directly, but left his troops far away, and then came on foot with several generals.
The cavalrymen who were staying with Gu Tingye's men passed in the middle. Su Xian looked familiar, but he didn't think much about it yet.
It wasn't until he got closer that Su Xian suddenly discovered that the corpses being collected on the field seemed to be those he sent to hunt down Queen Cao.
And depending on the situation, he should have been killed by Li Hao's people.
Su Xian and others were not worried about their own safety, but they just didn't quite understand why Li Hao wanted to kill them.
So after walking to Li Hao and Mr. Yingying, he was ready to ask about the situation.
But Gu Tingye knew what happened in Youyemen before, and looking at Su Xian's expression, he could naturally guess something.
Even if Su was not allowed to speak first, after all, the matter was finally settled with an unimportant person.
If Su Xian didn't care for a moment and dragged himself and a group of nobles behind him into the situation, things would end in trouble.
So he said first: "Marquis Anping, you are here at the right time. A group of thieves just came here and killed the Queen.
Later, the British Duke and Li Hao led troops to rescue, but they only rescued the little prince.
This group of bad guys came out of nowhere. No one knew where they came from. Marquis Anping happened to take a look to see if he recognized them. "
When he heard Gu Tingye's specially emphasized tone when he said no one knew, Su Xian still didn't understand what Gu Tingye meant. ….
He immediately answered and said: "I just took a look and I don't know any of these people. I think these people should be the traitors who have betrayed Zhao Zongquan."
After speaking, he asked everyone around him and received unanimous agreement.
This scene caught Li Hao and Mr. Yingying's eyes, and they felt that something was wrong, but neither of them had any intention of pursuing it.
[In view of the general environment, he asked: "Anpinghou, aren't you supposed to be at Xihua Gate? Why are you here suddenly?"
Zhang Xian replied: "Zhao Zongquan happened to be passing by Xihua Gate with his troops just now. After we saw it, naturally we couldn't sit still and wait for death.
In the fierce fighting between the two sides, Zhao Zongquan and his son Zhao Ceying were killed on the spot.
Then when we interrogated the people around Zhao Zongquan, we learned that he had
Having sent men and horses to hunt down the Queen, I thought of coming over to protect her, but it was a pity that it was too late.
In addition, we also got news that the official family died before Zhao Zongquan entered Funing Palace.
Or it was the Queen who took the jade seal with her when she left. If nothing else, the jade seal should still be on the Queen's body now. "
After hearing this, Li Hao's eyes turned to Queen Cao again.
I immediately wanted to verify whether the matter was true or not, but after all, there were differences between men and women. Li Hao was all men. As Empress Cao, it was naturally not easy for people to search her body in public.
So Li Hao asked people to place Queen Cao's body in the palace, and also sent people to find the maids in order to search Queen Cao's body.
After this matter was confirmed, Li Hao planned to completely end the chaos in the palace. After all, the original goals had been achieved.
Zhao Zongquan and Empress Cao are both dead now, and they can then let go and do whatever they want.
So Li Hao made an agreement with Su Xian, and after he returned, he would transfer all the troops and horses from Xihua Gate to Donghua Gate and clear out the enemies in the palace along the way.
In addition, Gu Tingye also had to rush back to Donghua Gate, lead the troops into the palace, march towards Xihua Gate, and eliminate the enemies along the way.
Li Hao and Yang Wenyuan also need to enter the palace from Xuande Gate and Gongchen Gate respectively, and march towards the middle.
Surrounded from all sides, the chaos in the palace was quelled in the shortest possible time.
Then everyone had time to get together and discuss the next plan.
Of course, since they wanted to act together, they agreed to use fireworks as a signal to unify the time.
After these people discussed it, only Yang Wenyuan didn't know the news, so Li Hao sent another person to inform Yang Wenyuan of the situation.
This time can be left just in time so that Gu Tingye and Su Xian can go back and prepare.
After making this arrangement, Li Hao forgot to ask Gu Tingye what happened to him just now, and just asked him to go back and prepare quickly.
However, Gu Tingye did not return to Donghua Gate immediately, but followed Su Xian for a while.
This also caught Su Xian's attention, and he asked: "What, do you have anything else to do with me?"
When Gu Tingye saw that he had gone far, he said directly: "You just left like this. Have you forgotten something? Think carefully."
Hearing this, Su Xian was really surprised and didn't understand what Gu Tingye was talking about. ….
It wasn't until I saw Gu Tingye's eyes wandering in one place, and then when Su Xian and others looked in the direction, that I realized what Gu Tingye was talking about.
Then Gu Tingye continued: "What just happened can only end here, so there must be no mistakes.
I think this is what everyone wants to see, what do you think? "
Su Xian nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
After speaking, Gu Tingye returned to the original place and took everyone away.
The remaining people were also taken back by Su Xian and others, but when they returned to Xihua Gate, the number of people was obviously not enough.
Of course, these are just trivial matters, and they didn’t attract anyone else’s attention in Xihuamen anyway.
At most, when each department is counting the number of people, someone will mention it, and then no one will care.
The subsequent chaos in the palace did not take long, thanks to the full efforts of Li Hao and others.
By the time the sun rose the next morning, everyone in the palace had been screened, and the two groups of people who originally fought were either dead or captured.
Even the fire in the palace was put out under the command of Li Hao and others.
Now all the generals involved in countering the rebellion are gathering in Jiying Hall to circulate an edict issued by Li Hao.
This was the palace maid that Li Hao found later. What he found from Empress Cao was the edict written by Zhao Zhen before his death asking Zhao Zonghan to succeed to the throne.
Also uncovered at the same time was the jade seal that Zhao Zongquan wanted, which is now in Li Hao's hands.
After everyone circulated the edict, Li
Hao spoke first. After all, the British prince was the king, so he had to wait until the end.
I saw Li Hao say: "The official's deathbed decree is that the young prince should inherit the throne.
Here, I would like to ask everyone what they think first. After all, the next thing still needs everyone to work together.
So if you have any opinions, just say them now, otherwise I don’t want anyone to make trouble again after everyone is sure. "
After speaking, he signaled to others present that they could speak freely.
However, Li Hao was greeted with silence. Everyone in the room was full of thoughts, that no one wanted to be the one who stood out.
But how can we keep it so quiet? It's getting late now.
After the palace is calm, there will definitely be courtiers coming to the palace to inquire about the situation. How to talk to them then will have to be decided based on the current discussion.
So Li Hao looked at him and signaled Gu Tingye to speak quickly to break the deadlock.
So Gu Tingye stood up at this time and said: "I think it should be done according to the official's wishes. After all, having the official's handwriting is more convincing in the court.
Moreover, the official family now only has two sons. Zhao Zongquan has died of rebellion, and this is the only son left. It is only natural that the father dies and the son succeeds. "
Facing Gu Tingye's words, someone finally stood up and said, "But Zhao Zonghan has been raised in the palace for so long, who knows what he thinks of us now.
And don’t forget that he and Zhao Zongquan are brothers. If he misses this old relationship in the future, how should we deal with it.
So I think it's better to pretend that there is no such edict and choose another person from the clan to inherit the throne. ….
Anyway, it’s up to us to decide whether Zhao Zonghan is involved in this palace incident or not! "
After hearing this, Yang Wenyuan stood up and retorted: "This is inappropriate. You must know that if you want to appoint another candidate, it will definitely need to be discussed publicly in the court.
At that time, the opinions of Grand Xianggong and Zongzheng Temple will inevitably take precedence, but our role will be smaller.
Don’t forget, the Grand Prime Minister Han is still staying at the Grand Prime Minister’s Temple.
Once he seizes the opportunity and takes advantage of the opportunity to establish a new king and get rid of Zhao Zongquan's crisis, what do you think he will do next?
Isn't this just making a wedding dress for others? It also goes against our original ideas. "
Later, those who agreed to act in accordance with the imperial edict and wanted to re-establish the throne started arguing in the palace.
But in the end, those who wanted to act in accordance with the imperial edict prevailed. After all, doing so was the safest and less likely to cause accidents.
So the British Duke spoke at this time, finalizing the matter: "Then let's express our opinions. Depending on which side has more support, we will follow the opinions of that side.
After expressing my position, I hope that everyone can work together to complete the original idea, otherwise we will be everyone's enemy. "
After saying this, the British Duke glanced at everyone.
The British public's deterrence is still there. Faced with these words, everyone nodded in agreement, recognizing that the minority can support the majority.
But when it came time to take a stand, everyone suddenly became quiet again.
Then Gu Tingye took the lead in expressing support for Zhao Zonghan, and then others began to follow suit, but in the end many people remained silent.
Until Li Hao expressed his support for Zhao Zonghan, others also expressed their support.
After all, in their opinion, Li Hao must have meant what he said on behalf of the British Duke, and these people finally chose to side with the British Duke.
Seeing that those who supported Zhao Zonghan clearly had the upper hand, the British official said nothing more. After all, he was the direct beneficiary of this incident, so he expressed his attitude by default and finalized the matter.
After confirming this matter, the British minister came forward to arrange the next thing.
First of all, it is definitely impossible to leave so many soldiers and horses in the palace, and Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan are the people who are most familiar with the palace guards.
So Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan were asked to choose some people to stay and start again.
Clean up the palace.
Except for some of the others who wanted to cooperate with Kaifeng Mansion in purging Bianjing City, the rest of the troops returned to the western suburbs camp.
Of course, the British Duke did not forget to send some people to seal the Daxiangguo Temple and let Han Qi stay there for a few more days.
As for Li Hao, he also had a mission. He needed to go to Ouyang Xiu, tell Ouyang Xiu about the imperial edict, and ask him to come forward to appease the civil servants.
But this matter was easy to handle. After Ouyang Xiu saw it was Zhao Zhen's handwriting, he had no intention of rejecting it.
Instead, Ouyang Xiu asked Li Hao what happened in the palace, and how it happened that Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zongquan and Empress Cao were all killed in one day.
Li Haozhen didn't know how to answer this question. After all, Li Haozhen knew the cause of Queen Cao's death.
Li Hao really didn't know anything about other things about Zhao Zhen and Zhao Zongquan.
So I could only say: "I don't know much about the specific situation. The palace was really chaotic at that time.
This time was not like the last palace upheaval, where only King Yan had the power. Instead, Zhao Zongquan and Zeng Chaosheng became a mess, and many palaces were burned down.
By the time we arrived, it was just that everything was over.
However, according to the imperial doctor, the official family did die and was not harmed. "
Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu felt a little relieved, at least Zhao Zhen did not suffer much before his death.
But Ouyang Xiu still said: "But you still have to find out what happened in the palace. This matter must be explained to the civil and military officials."
Li Hao agreed: "Uncle, don't worry, it is Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan who are making arrangements in the palace now.
Moreover, the soldiers who caused the rebellion are now being imprisoned. I will let the two of them review it and ensure that an answer will come out. "
"Of course, it's different whether this answer is true or not." Li Hao thought to himself. .
